Request for feature

Am map making for a few days now, using the crossfire capabilities of
tiled maps (north - east - south - west). My map are 50x50, so they don't fit 
in a whole window. When i need to create a new adjacent map, i cut and past 
the line or row of objects at the border to use as a starting point; so i 
know where the mountains-road-gras aso  reside on adjacent map. 
However, doing this with editor mean doing a pack of cut & paste to have a 
complete row (a 50 square row using 12 sqaures cut and paste is a pain in the 
ass, and more when you do the paste on the wrong map in the middle of 
process).
- From time to time, i also have to move a big thing like a 20x20 lake or 
something like. However since in 'map squares selection' mode (the left mouse 
button down+drag mode) , the editing window doesn't scroll and the 
up/down/left/right key can't be used to scroll the window things becomes very 
difficult.
Could it be possible to have a sensitive window border (difficult) or easier, 
to still allow direction keys to scroll window when in selection mode?

Could we also have classical magic keys like the ctrl-a to select all map
and the click then  shift-click to select a specific rectangle? But it's less 
important. Really need window scroll for the moment.

Thanks in advance, may save me lots of time.

By the way, if someone is interrested, i developped a quick and dirty gimp 
perl plugin to convert a grayscale picture to a 2 archetypes or 1 archetype + 
transparent area crossfire map (interresting to draw quickly a background)
Demonstration can be seen at
